Selling Charlotte Posts June Wilson And His Boys Are Doing Surprisingly Well “j nnmncn The Charlotte Pott Extra! Extra! Read all about it! 11 How long has it been • since you’ve heard the echoes of those familiar words cried aloud by the newspaper street sales man? ■ You say, you’ve never heard those.cries? Perhaps my “recollection reveals myiitfe, and to many of us who were around about in’the IMO’s, the memories still linger of the young lad in knickers and slouch hat with a pouch of papers under one arm and the other raised high, holding a newspaper with emblazoned headlines de crying the advances of Hitler’s Third Reich. Those days have pretty much given way to computerized and highly efficient news paper delivery systems and street sales through unattended coin boxes. Alas, the emergence of The Charlotte Post’s new and energetic street sales force: a group of boys under the able supervision and dynamic leadership of Jimmy Junius Wilson. Mr. Wilson, who is known far and wide simply as “June,” came to The Post in late November wanting to know if he could use his organizational talents to “whip" together a group of Jimmy “June” Wilson .Circulation supervisor youngsters to go to the streets to sell papers. "It’s not an easy task,” he was cautioned; “young sters are easily discour aged, sometimes unreali able, often unpredictable, and it can be profitable to the mature field supervisor only if he sells “a lot’i of papers and only if he can handle youngsters well, and only if he has the patience of Job and the organizational skills of So lomon. With little modesty, “June" said he didn't know a whole lot about Solomon but he did have the patience of Job and he sure could handle kids and if given the chance, he would build an empire. After considerable discussion, apprehensive planning, and much doubt, June was given the “Go ahead,” not to build an empire but simply to do his best to get The Post into the hands of every black house hold in and around Char lotte. If you have been around town on a Thursday or Friday evening or on a Saturday afternoon during the past two months, you have probably heard the sales pitch of one of June’s young lads. You might have had a difficult time saying “no thanks” but, hopefully, any persistence that you encouraged was polite and cheerful. June has his lads organ ized as well as any mili tary unit this 20-year Army veteran ever served with. He has a “North” team and a “South” team, each with a team captain whose pri vuege it is to ride “shot gun" in the car while going to or coming from their duty stations (next to the window with the senior captain in the front seat). Failure to be at a pre scribed place at the pre scribed time may result in temporary suspension, loss of longevity, or even per manent dismissal - or per haps no free lunch with the other lads after a hard day’s work. June takes his job seri ously and he believes that firm discipline but warm hearted concern is the way to get the rfiost out of his boys. "They will sell more papers and make more money,” he says, “and they will feel good because they are not only helping themselves, but by becom ing more self-sufficient, they are helping their fa milies.” June hasn't built an empire yet, but he and his lads are selling from five hundreds to 1,000 papers every week and "It’s only the beginning,” he insists. “They're doing a gnat job and The Charlotte Cost management is proud of June Wilson and 'his boys,'”, publisher dill Johnson beamed.
